“I don’t apologize, i don’t kiss the cross, I’m not saying that i’m innocent or guilty, Those terms are unfamiliar to me. I’m In Chile, challenging them every day and happy knowing that my freedom is causing anger.”

After several raids at his family house, the comrade Hans Felipe Niemeyer Salinas, has written a statement in which, in addition to demonstrating the senselessness and violence that were carried out,and blame for anything that may happen to his family, to the Prosecutor Raul Guzman and politician in charge of the police, the ministry of home affairs Andrés Chadwick,he declared that will be present at the trial, which would be scheduled for May 6

Let us remember that the Comrade it’s fugitive since December 7, 2012, after the Court of Appeals modified the house arrest for preventive detention, which would take place in the High Security Prison.

Hans is currently accused of installing a bomb in a bank the last November 30, 2011.The prosecution charged for three crimes of bombs manufacturing, they are asking for a sentence of seven years in jail and for placing explosives they request twelve years. In the latter case, he is being prosecuted under the invocation of the Antiterrorist Law.

Since October 1996 I’ve been kept in the dungeons of the German state. I was sentenced to eleven and a half years in prison for one bank-robbery to fundraise money for left-wing projects. Later I was sentenced to a further five years and three months for “insulting” prosecutors, judges and politicians.

I have been a Red and Anarchist Skinhead (RASH) for many years, and the government kept me in isolation (solitary confinement) from 1996 until May 2007. I have been in the general prison population for the past six years and will finish my sentences in July 2013.

But in 1997 the criminal court added the so-called “preventive detention” (PD) to my sentence, based on a Nazi-Law from November 1933 which allows the state to keep a prisoner in custody over and above the end of their regular sentence, if they want to for the rest of the inmate’s life.

Recently the courts opened my files to decide if I will go to PD in July 2013. In the end there is not much real chance that the judges will set me free, but it would still be helpful and I would appreciate the solidarity, if people could write some letters and e-mails to the court and support my struggle for freedom.

Inside and outside of prison can be heard once again the strong voices of those who claim’s that prison is a place of torture.That prison is not reformable, since his brutal logic is the foundation of this society.

Complaints about harassment, beatings and blackmail made ​​by many prisoners, including Maurizio Alfieri,do nothing but reinforce the urgency of reviving the prison issue to the center of debate and struggle.

No for begging some reform, that “humanise” the prison conditions to legitimizes the existence of prisons,but to understand once and for all that prison is a system to monitor and punish anyone who is not satisfied with the freedom granted by this democratic society.

Anyone who disowns the idea that freedom is reduced to an election day to choose (perhaps) the own boss, anyone who calls by his name the exploitation in the workplace, blackmail of banks, colonial wars sold as humanitarian. Anyone in the refined world of probation.

Breaking the silence is the first step to obstruct the jail system,who wants that all the comrades be indifferent, resigned or even collaborate.

Make solidarity and complicity our weapons.

A solidarity present and alive, that bloom as the spring flowers in every crack and manifests itself in all ways, to bring down those walls: to convert jail in a memory of a past intolerable.

Maddalena (Madda) Calore was one of the anarchists subjected to bail conditions following operation ‘Outlaw’ (launched in Bologna on 6 April 2011, leaving 5 comrades imprisoned then, 7 on bail, and anarchist place Fuoriluogo raided by cops). She was arrested on 12 May 2011 for allegedly breaching those bail conditions. Also, the particular comrade was jailed in more than one women’s prison across Italy (not only Rome), where she confronted ill-treatment and harsh confinement because of her insubordinate attitude.

On 26 March 2013 Madda was finally ordered release from the hell-hole, having only a prohibition order that prevents her from residing in Trapani.

Topi Lauko is an anarchist from Finland, in December began serving a sentence of 18 months in a low security prison for refusing to perform military service (like the civil service, the equivalent of “conscientious objectors” in Spain). In mid-February was moved to a “halfway house”. The comrade would like to receive letters, so here’s the address. It will be finally released April 24, 2013.

Topi LoukoVehnämyllynkatu 433560 Tampere Finland

Every year, at least half a dozen people in Finland are condemned for refusing to perform military service. Among them are pacifists and anarchists, but also non-political people who also refused to perform the service, which lasts between 6 and 12 months. Currently several of these prison sentences are being replaced by house arrest under electronic surveillance.

Besides Top, there is at least one other prisoner for this reason with a clear political awareness. Jakko Jekunen has been in jail since December 4 and will not be released until early June.

“It is a question of breaking up fear and indifference. Committed solidarity is an individual and collective need which serves to destroy the convenient and self-satisfying belief that our struggle is temporary and not a proud choice of life we had made after a long time spent in total harmony with our actions.

To multiple all kind of actions and initiatives is a necessity, the necessity to struggle against state-prison-capital and go ahead without limitations.

To insist in the endless search for our freedom means to strike without fear any bits of this rotten society… let’s not allow the wind to blow these words away, let’s turn them into actions…”

Dear comrades, your letter gave me strength and joy. I have many things to say but I will limit myself to a few of those. The role of the comrades held hostage cannot be but that of analysis, the supplying of the comrades outside the walls with further tools. Beyond the obvious of insurrection and non-subjugation inside the prisons, the struggle continues, and you gave us an example with your resistance. Communication cannot but be carried out through action and this is why we do not have to assign it in some way to the professionals of speech. It is vital, of course, that the news and ideas go around the world. It is necessary however that we avoid in any way the transformation into bureaucracy of a procedure that must remain free from the elite of those who specialize in information. The ability of planning must be the fruit of the action of comrades outside the wall and the analysis of the hostage comrades. The public dialogue which will take place in Thessaloniki in the frames of counter-information is important, and I am sure that during your intervention you will mention my objection.

This, of course, does not abolish the fact that counter-information, the sites, the blogs, are important, simply all this is something else. We do not have to confuse the practice of counter-information with direct action. The word of consistency by the sisters and brothers in the war is the only one which really matters. The so-called “social anarchism” makes everything spin around the “organ of the assembly”, which has become the field of authority and breeding of young and old leaders, whose sole purpose is self-reference. Politician anarchists do anything they can in order to drown, at its birth, the new which gains ground.

The newness which gains ground is the making of an informal organization, an organization which some rebels insist on overloading with useless and abstract meanings, political considerations, continuous mediations in search of urban acceptance, which in reality deforms any revolutionary element.

When actions speak, the decisive influence applied by the “leaders of anarchy” through their talent in the assemblies will come crumble to pieces, and the group of relevance, the individuality of action, will regain strength. The “realists” of anarchy have nothing more to do but dispute the new, promoting even more the “social struggles”, searching for the “popular consent” which can be acquired only with steady rejection of everything anarchist and insurrectional.

Thanks to your letters, perceptions such as nihilism and anti-social anarchism, are spreading to every corner. We have a long way to go still and the direction we took is the right one. Your courage fills me with dare. Through the walls of this cell, Olga, my smile greets you. My flesh is your flesh, my blood is your blood.

Regarding the judicial case of the comrade, it took about two months for them to call witnesses to testify and to schedule a new audience requesting house arrest, is not surprising to know that the list of witnesses presented to disassociate comrade of the arsonists acts, submitted in October 2011 to May 2012, has been filed under a big pile of papers.

Uncannily the investigation folders have not been available to the lawyer, family or comrades in the courtroom, and of course, with a series of silly excuses from civil servants.

However does not surprise us that they are delaying and keeping all for them,obtaining this way more time to keep the comrade kidnapped

We are waiting for the 3rd hearing, and them to call the witnesses.Strength to Krudo! And to all prisoners!.Down with all jails, physical or mental!

A very determined comrade has been on hunger strike for more than 40 days in order to get visits with his partner. Obviously it is much more difficult to make one’s voice heard inside a jail in order to achieve one’s claims than it is outside, and even more so in a unit, the AS2, which was created specifically to confine those who struggle against this infamous world and to prevent them from organizing themselves along with other prisoners in the struggle inside the prison.

One of the few possibilities left to the rebels detained in high surveillance regime is to make recourse to their bodies as a battlefield, to refuse food as an attempt at putting the enemy in trouble and hoping it gives up.

On March 4 a request for visits between Sergio and Katia was submitted to the court of Milan. The judge in charge is taking his time to announce a response, which is very likely to be negative, as the same judge has pointed out that Sergio’s health conditions continue to be good. Never mind if a person hasn’t had any food for one and a half month: those who administer justice, with their typical arrogant cynicism and disgusting and bourgeois indifference towards people, just pass over feeling and suffering. We are not surprised at this: those who can ruin lives by inflicting prison sentences can also carry out any other kind of vile actions.

Perhaps judges and prosecutors have their bellies full thanks to their disgusting job but certainly they don’t have what Sergio has: dignity and the pride of an individual on struggle against an unjust world! Sergio is carrying on his battle with determination, and his spirit is high in spite of the many days he has spent without food and of his transfer to Ferrara, with all the difficulties a transfer implies.

We think it is imperative for us all to support Sergio at this difficult time! To start with, we can write to him:

To support a comrade on struggle in prison from outside is of vital importance. All the necessary conflicts we deal with in our cities can’t substitute or distract us from sincere solidarity with a comrade who is struggling as best as he can.

Solidarity from comrades is absolutely important as it helps to give sense and keep high the spirit of one who is struggling in a prison, and it can also influence the choices of his hangmen, at least by demonstrating that the comrade is not alone. It is fundamental that those who decide to struggle inside a jail know that their claims will be supported from outside the prison walls.

Solidarity with Sergio! Solidarity with Madda, Maurizio and all the rebels who are struggling inside the prison. Freedom for all!
